What are the recent results between the sides?

This is something of a history-maker. It is the first time the sides have met despite having 222 European appearances between them.

Who is the danger man?

There are plenty to choose from in the Castres ranks but Tigers will want to keep a close eye on Steve Mafi, a forward Leicester fans know plenty about after his 81 appearances for the club. Matt O’Connor describes him as “world class” and he will surely want to impress on his return to Welford Road, so keeping him quiet would be a major plus for Tigers.

What are the odds?

Tigers are at home so they are favourites. Odds on a home win range from 1/6 to 1/9 but you suspect Castres will be more competitive than that. The draw can be had at up to 40/1.
